Should Bearing Buddies Have Grease Ooze Out of the Zerk Fitting

Question:

I have boat trailer and I purchase Dexter model 2110-K-2-04260 from e-trailer last year and i cant stop the grease from come out by the grease zirk fitting and the blue cap keep going all the way in when i travel down the road and I get grease all over the outside of the rime. before I Replace them i could keep the blue cap out with pressure on the inside of the hub to keep the water out of the hub. Thanks

You are for sure adding too much grease to your hub with your Bearing Buddy if you are seeing it come out of the zerk fitting. You're somewhat lucky as normally this blows out the grease seal instead on the opposite side of the hub which causes brake issues as well as potentially damages the hub. I would recommend not trying to add any more grease to the hub as it seems to be plenty full. If it continually keeps oozing out of the zerk fitting then that has failed.
